Time to call it as we see it.
Formations, tactics, money spent, players moved on, etc etc, bla bla bla.
33 premier league games, 17 lost. It's relegation.
He walked in with a hand grenade and threw it in amongst the players. Never in my lifetime have I ever seen that work. Whatever he is selling in that dressing room, the players are not buying.
Time to be big boys INEOS, do the right thing for the club and get someone in that is not of their depth.

People still don’t think we are relegation material…. we 1000% are and will be unless this manager is removed.

Honestly its relegation. if they stick with this plank its championship next season. It's so crap its embarrassing. players not trying again, manager useless, and mainoo at the end not able to control the ball sums up everything. Can't even score penalties which has cost utd points that's needed. Was fearful last season now i'm its definitely happening. unless the differing board actually get some valls and sack him tonight.

Lets call it as we see it.
There first goal came from a foul on Cunha which wasn't given, they lumped it forward and scored.
There second goal came from our keeper palming the ball out into the path of their striker then failing to save his shot despite it being right at the keeper.
They should have been down to 10 men, not even former match officials are trying to side with Pawson and the VAR team on this one.
Bruno missed the penalty.
There third goal while well hit was again straight at our keeper, who was again unable to save a shot he really should have.
So let's tally up the reasons why we lost this game,
We have two goals that our keeper should have saved but didn't.
Our captain missing another penalty.
And two really bad decisions by the Ref, one not to give the foul on Cunha and two not to send off Collins.
That's 5 things that went against us and not one of them is due to where our players stood at kick off. Is the manager doing a great job? No he's not, but let's stop with this delusion that everything is his fault and changing the manager will solve our problems. It won't.
We will still get bad decisions go against us in games. We will still have a keeper who isn't good enough, along with many other players.
The reality is we almost certainly get very similar performances and results whatever formation we play as it will still be the same players and our squad will still have the same weaknesses.

Let’s call what we actually see…
Well you blame the keeper, RA keeps putting him in
RA keeps putting Bruno out of position
RA mainly just subs defenders for defenders
RA never changes anything
RA knows the CBs are not capable in this system
RA knows he got zero wing backs, he even bought one of them
RA not addressed midfield problems
RA shunning Mainoo
RA naivety cost club millions with his bomb squad
RA talks and talks but don’t produce
RA got less than 30% win rate
RA seen every player gone backwards backwards
RA not improved one single player
I would say that’s pretty conclusive.

Shappy, you're an excuse merchant.
Can you write a game by game list please. 35 games, 32 points.
Let's hear it lol. Because that's the reality
35 games, 32 points. That gets us relegated . Get your head of the sand.

Anotherupset. RA is the coach, not manager when it comes to players "he" buys and sells. You keep alluding in your different logins that he buys and sells the players. He doesnt.

Shappy stop worrying about losing face and open your eyes pal.
Today’s game made perfect sense to start Lammens. RA chose not too.
He picked the 3x defenders, the first goal could be a foul but it doesn’t explain the lack of defensive cover but the system does.
The 2nd goal is on a weak keeper and defence selected by RA.
The 3rd was on the system and chasing the game and a poor keeper.
We shouldn’t be relying on a penalty and we should be generating enough chances with the players on the pitch.
RA will get a more time if this compensation clause is true. But I don’t think your assessment of RA is balanced or fair.

Liverpool fan here who has also had a rubbishty afternoon wat his team.
Shappy, you cannot defend Amorim after that. Andrew's changed his formation because he knew exactly how to set up to frustrate and ultimately beat United today. United fans have got to expect more.
If Amorim is still in charge when we play each other in a few weeks I will shocked.

Last season was a write off from day 1.
My annoyances with Amorim are:
1. He isn't playing Lammens
2. He keeps playing Maguire and Shaw
3. He won't start Mainoo, even though when he comes on it changes the game
That's it.
I will say last night was hard to watch.
Hope Sunderland is more entertaining.

I’ll call it as I saw it.
They scored 3, we scored 1.
Does not matter how much spin and sob stories you throw at it.
28 Sep 2025 06:32:55
Shappy, you're a teacher and can't tell the difference between their and there? I'm not sure I could take any of your posts seriously anymore.

Altay kept us in the game remember, could have been 4-5 down without his saves.
We all have to agree Bruno as the box to box midfielder doesn’t work. If that was Amorim’s plan for the season, it was a bad decision and he needs to own that not repeat it every week.
